...that despite the numerous predictions of such, we did not draft a single defensive end / pass rusher?

Heck, not even a defensive tackle.

Undrafted so far has included one DE, two DTs.

Nippleshorts be trolling us me thinks. I'm sure he was squirming in his seat as they went off the board before his picks though.

Ealy showed out very well at the end of last year and Big Frank, if he can keep his head on straight off the field, can have an impact. DT isn't really an immediate need since we re-signed Cole and Dwan. DE won't be as elite as it was with Hardy but I'm confident in Ealy/Frank.

Very few 4-3 pass-rushing DEs this year. Most pass-rushers were 3-4 OLBs. Did the next best thing. Added Shaq and Mayo to throw the occasional 3-4 look and rush TD or Luke from a SAM/LEO spot.

 

I believe the only DE in play was Preston Smith who is a true 4-3 DE  similar to Hardy.

i think it's just the luck of the way things fell. nothing intentional. gettleman is addicted to the DL. it will take a while before i feel any differently about that. fortunately he was able to control that addiction and not trade any of our picks for a DE or DT and used them for an actual need.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
